Where the information we process is special category or sensitive data such as your health data, the additional bases for processing that we rely on are:

1. Where you have provided ICAEW with your explicit consent to the processing.

We keep Personal Data that we obtain about you for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which it is processed. How long we keep your Personal Data will depend on how long you remain an associate of ICAEW, the nature of the Personal Data concerned and the purposes for which it is processed.

No automated decision making is used in relation to members.

ICAEW may share your Personal Data with third party processors who provide services to the organisation where we have a legal obligation, contract or other legitimate interest to do so. These services include, but are not limited to:

1. payment providers;
2. business system providers;

In some cases, we or our suppliers may need to process Personal Data outside the European Economic Area (EEA) and/or United Kingdom (UK). Where this is the case we will only share the minimal amount of Personal Data necessary for the purpose of processing and, where possible, we will share the Personal Data in an anonymised form.

Whenever we transfer your Personal Data out of the UK, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:

1. we will only transfer your Personal Data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for Personal Data by the UK Information Commissioner’s Office.
2. where we use certain processors, we may use specific contracts approved by the UK Information Commissioner’s Office which gives Personal Data the same protection it has within the UK. When we rely on this measure, we will ensure that the third-party can comply with the provision of such contracts and we have confirmed that the country to which the Personal Data is transferred has adequate data protection laws in place to protect Personal Data.

Please contact us at dataprotection@icaew.com if you would like further information about the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your Personal Data.

We have appropriate security measures in place to prevent Personal Data from being accidentally lost, or used or accessed in an unauthorised way. We limit access to your Personal Data to those who have a genuine business need to know it. Those processing your Personal Data will do so only in an authorised manner and are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We also have procedures in place to deal with any suspected data security breach. We will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected data security breach where we are legally required to do so.

We do not charge a fee for any such requests unless there are exceptional circumstances.
